["modal block" from dashboard focus]

Chris,

 

Are you using Aero Glass theme or Classic?

 

If Classic, I may have tracked down the issue. Should be fixed in next release.

[Crosshairs on charts should show details for point of interest]

I see, so your complaint is not with the free floating trace functionality itself, but rather with the use of the keyboard shortcut used to trigger it. 

 

We may add a checkbox in Options to have Free Floating trace on by default. 

 

Also note - I plan to add Tip of the Day window to help expose these little nuggets

[IB USERS - Please help me with some info]

I am running into a problem and it seems to be a bug in a particular TWS version, but very odd that it has not been reported by anyone, since it would basically make MT not connect.

 

So, please reply here and tell me the exact TWS version that you are using.  Thanks

 

Jerry

Better than the new free floating?  what do you want it to do?

[annotation & draw tools]

MT will let you extend the line beyond the last bar, but it does not currently have the option to show extra space to the right of the prices, so drawing beyond is of limited use

 

Text Size - it is dynamically sized, with the chart. Same as QT. Can't show font size since it is something that changes.  Will see if we can add fixed size

 

As for free form lines - aren't lines always free form?

[Today's release (1.0.1221.2312) will cause intraday data to be cleared]

davc55, I emailed you

["modal block" from dashboard focus]

it sounds like some modal window was up.  MT actually shows the modal dialog popups in the task bar so that would usually be a good place to check. Let me know if you can recreate the problem

 

Password will be prompted if the login fails. Right now the login box doesn't show the error (on my todo list).  Did you get it working?

[Creating Window "Groups"?]

good to know. will keep it in mind

[Today's release (1.0.1221.2312) will cause intraday data to be cleared]

Jackie,

 

I emailed you.  What datafeed are you using though?

[Level II font size]

the font size wasn't being reset initially when you re-opened the window. Fixed

As for showing the font size, I really don't want to waste the space. It is mainly relevant only when you have issues with the size, and shouldn't really have those anymore.

 

BTW, you don't have to go to the ribbon to change font size. CTRL+ and CTRL- can be used (same as in a browser)

[An IOS app :))]

that is not in the cards for the near future. 

[Stock price displayed in portfolio]

Most likely a different issue. Go to settings / application / general and change the price format back to #,##0.00##

[Option to customize title bar content.]

done

[Creating Window "Groups"?]

nono, its fine. I am just setting expectations - some are quickly implemented. Others .. more down the road.  As for the user interface, how did the CAD software do it?

[Creating Window "Groups"?]

In theory, sure.

 

In practice, there are quite a few issues there that would need to be addressed, other than just the time to actually do it

 

1) How hard is it to make the windows move together like that? I have them snapping together when they get near each other, but don't know about the moving part

2) what would be the actual UI for locking/unlocking the windows?

3) Minimizing as a group would be somewhat problematic.  MT handles it's own window management because each window is in it's own thread and therefore they cannot be handled by Windows standard stuff. 
 

I would say that a more likely approach may be just to do container windows, where you can create a container window and drag MT windows inside it. and then move the container window.  

 

Right now though the top priority is to get core functionality working

[Level II sorting]

I have no idea what it is sorting on in QT when TIME is selected for NYSE symbol. That data is simply not returned from the datafeed.

[Level II sorting]

you can't really compare to QT with TDA since QT didn't show time when TDA was the source. And the issue is not 3 letter symbols but rather NASDAQ vs Non-NASDAQ.

 

MT shows the time but what is there depends on the symbol.  TDA has different datafeeds for NASDAQ and others. For NASDAQ one time is returned on the individual entries. For Non-NASDAQ Data, MT just puts the time the data came in into that field.

[Level II sorting]

Which datafeed?

[Level II sorting]

it works, though doesn't get re-adjusted until new data comes in. you can see it by just adding the tie column

[Option to customize title bar content.]

FYI - I am changing the two options that show change and volume so they will be:

        <SYMBOL> <CHANGE> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>)

        <SYMBOL> <VOLUME> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>)

 

That way the symbol and the value will be visible if shown on task bar

[Today's release (1.0.1221.2312) will cause intraday data to be cleared]

FYI - the 1.0.1221.2312 build changed how intraday quotes are stored, so we had to make it delete data stored by previous versions. Most of you should have a backfill source available, so it shouldn't be too much or an issue.

 

Also, when I updated last night, the file didn't actually get uploaded. I just uploaded again.

["Paintbar" type feature?]

We will be adding those features in the future. No ETA

[FYI - Just fixed IB issue with MSFT, CSCO, INTC]

Long story about IB requiring Primary exchange to be specified for only these symbols (and one more obscure one).  The issue will be handled automatically by MT starting with the next build.

 

[Option to customize title bar content.]

Next build will have the option on the SETTINGS / Charts / General screen

[TWO Key Features added - SMART Backfill and Chart Auto subscribe to datafeed]

the first release didn't survive first contact with the users .  Just re-uploaded 1.0.1199.2138 which fixes the issue with the Chart auto subscribe feature
